Because what better way to flaunt humanity's wastefulness than making the world's largest whatever just for the sake of of it, here's the world's largest lollipop, a 2.5-ton chocolate behemoth from See's Candies. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? "There are children in Africa who haven't even had a sucker!" Yes. And? "Chocolate is the worst flavor lollipop?" *tapping side of head* Great minds.

Hit the jump for several more shots including a handy infographic for appreciating just how big this disgusting thing is.

Thanks to Shannon, who bites suckers and chews them right from the start. SAME.

Oh how we love to waste resources. ANd now See's goes into the history books for making this monstrosity, and one day, 100 years from now, some kid will ask, "who made the largest lollipop?", and the Eye-phone in his eye will scan the internet and bring up this article. And one second later, the kid won't care since he's moved on. That's how pointless this accomplishment is.

This is pretty impressive. I do wonder how many licks it'll take to finish this sucker.
